A Delhi court on Saturday deferred the hearing on a bail plea of separatist leader Shabir Shah till April 2. He was arrested in a decade-old money laundering case.

The application was moved before the court on the grounds of parity after the Delhi High Court recently granted bail to co-accused and alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani in the case.

Shah was arrested in 2017 in the case in which the Special Cell of Delhi Police had also arrested Wani. It claimed that 63 lakh rupees was recovered from Wani, out of which 52 lakh rupees was allegedly to be delivered to Shah.
